One-pan prawn pilau Recipe

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 15 minutes, then drain.

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until golden brown.

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan and sauté for a minute.

Add the prawns to the pan and cook until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add the soaked and drained basmati rice. Stir well to coat the rice with the onion, garlic, and ginger mixture.

Add the turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and garam masala to the pan. Stir well to combine.

Pour in the water and season with salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, add the cooked prawns, frozen peas, and chopped cilantro to the pan. Gently stir to combine everything.

Cover the pan and let it cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the flavors have melded together.

Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork. Serve hot.
